Maleo Birds Get Exclusive Place To Heat Their Eggs

An endangered bird has just been granted 36 acres of private, luxurious Indonesian beach.

Maleos are a protected bird species located on Northern Sulawesi. Since there are less than one- hundred of their nesting sites remaining, the government stepped in and granted them this land. Maleo birds lay their eggs then leave, allowing the eggs to incubate in the hot sand. Once they hatch, the chicks climb out of the sand ready to fly.
